Great paddleboard
I really love my paddleboard, but my pump didn’t work, so it’s getting replaced. It was easy to chat with them online and get a replacement sent.

The outside is for everyone, but not everyone feels comfortable outside. So we set out to make everyone feel at home in the open air through the use of expertly designed, durably crafted, accessibly priced outdoor gear - electric bikes, pedal bikes, kids bikes, stand up paddle boards and more - our goal at retrospec is simple: make nature second nature for everyone. We believe that all people, regardless of background or experience, should enjoy the life-affirming, eye-opening beauty of the outside world. We encourage a more active lifestyle and make being outdoors fun and inviting for people of any age, ability, or skill level. Born from a passion for fixed-gear cycling. Former home of Critical Cycles and Ten Toes Boards.

The box was almost completely torn in half, but luckily the product was undamaged and this is on the shipping company.I love my board, but I’d recommend upgrading the baring so the wheels spin for longer

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're stoked you're loving your board. Sorry the box showed up in rough shape. That's never the first impression we want, and we're glad your board made it through without a scratch. We appreciate the feedback on the bearings too. Hearing what would make your rides even better really helps, so we've passed it along to our product team. If anything comes up with your board, our support team is always happy to help.

Cute bike, but arrived with bent chain guard, chipped paint, and tarnished wheel rims. They sent me a 15% refund, but overall, the bike is meh. Super duper heavy.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. We're really sorry your bike didn't arrive in the condition it should have. We pack every order with care, but once a package is in the carrier's hands, there's unfortunately little we can do to control how it's handled on the way to you. We know that doesn't make it any less frustrating, and we appreciate your patience while our team worked with you on it. We also hear you on the weight, and we've shared that feedback with our product team.

Terrible return policy, basically nothing is returnable. Awful support (all AI) and assembly instructions that that are not tied to correct models. This isn’t a serious company.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and we're sorry we let you down. We understand how frustrating it is when returns don't go the way you expected, and we take this feedback seriously. Our return policy is published on our website, so customers can review the details before making a purchase. We know policies can still feel limiting depending on the situation, and we're always happy to talk through your options. We'd also like to hear more about the assembly instructions you received so we can make sure they match the right product going forward. If you're open to it, please reach out to our support team with your order details, and we'll do our best to make things right.
